FIXBOOT doesn't Work

[reversing_drive 0]

Need Dual-Boot Win2K & Win98,

 

Boot.ini only includes Windows 2000 /fastdetect

 

Tried booting from Win2K CD + using ERD, in Console typed 'fixboot',

Didn't change anything

 

My setup:

1st Pri Partition - 298.1mb NTFS (Used only for pagefile.sys)

Mapped as T:\ Drive.

 

2nd Pri Partition - 2674.9mb NTFS (Used for Win2K Install)

Mapped as C:\ Drive

 

3rd Pri Partition - 1153.1mb FAT32 (Used for Win98 Install)

Mapped as U:\ Drive

 

4th Pri Partition - 8228.6mb Extended (In 6 Logical Partitions, NTFS, FAT & FAT32)

 

 

My Current Boot.ini

 

[boot loader]

timeout=3

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

multi(?)disk(?)rdisk(?)partition(?)\WIN?="Microsoft Windows 98"

 

Surely someone here has the same setup and knows what replaces the question marks above

 

I would really appreciate your help.

Cheers:D

This is my boot.ini file:

 

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

C:\ = "Microsoft Windows Millenium Edition"

 

Did u install win98 before or after win2k?

 

Is ur boot partition(c:\) NTFS?

it won't work.... the first partition on the first drive MUST be FAT32 for win98 to begin the boot process....

 

sorry!

Well, it's just a theory, but you could try to move your swap file to another partition (rebooting, of course) and then formatting that partition as FAT32, then try the repair.
